The Concept Theory Of Self

I have come from a well-meaning but very scarring, ambivalent and dysfunctional family. My father was a sometimes physically, but often times very emotionally abusive person. Using a large amount of fear and intimidation of him to control our family and home. My mother regularly took out her anger and frustration towards my father on me since my parent’s first major separation when I was seven years old which in conjunction with the negative impact of my parents’ off and on separations leading up to their eventual divorce I developed depression, anger and other behavioral problems as well. I suffered many years of abuse from my mother as a result of these things. I understood both my parents cared for me, even though their actions often time both demonstrated it and contradicted it which lead to much confusion in relationships and friendships outside of my family. One of if not the most scarring experiences were of my mother and the adults she surrounded herself with sympathizing her abuse towards me because of the abuse she endured by my father and

Although, many people like and dislike many of their physical appearances they have to cope with the fact that they can not change them and that their unique characteristics make them who they are. My favorite characteristic is my hair; I like my hair because it is long and curly. I can do a number of different styles with my hair such as straightening it, making it wavy or leaving it curly. I’ve never been bothered with my hair because my hair is unique and not many people have the type of curls that I do. Another one of my favorite characteristics is my eyes and eyelashes. I like my eyes because they have a nice shape; like an almond their not to big nor are they too small. My eyelashes are super long, I cut them in

My parent's might not agree with all the decisions that I make and may not support them, but they always let me do them. Whether it is to teach me a lesson or because it is a good decision. I have made a lot of mistakes and they have warned me about a few whether it was something I was doing, someone I was dating, and or something I was saying. I have said thing I haven't meant. I have done things that have gotten me in trouble. I have also dated people that were bad influences on me or with a bad back ground. But in the end I always learned from them.

In this task I will compare two theories of self-esteem which contribute to our understanding of self-concept. The theories which I will be focused on are Bowlby’s and Harter’s.

In the novel, Person Vs. Illness is the main conflict which is not resolved throughout the story. Hazel Grace, the main character, suffers from cancer and it determines the way she lives her life. The ِanother conflict that is Dissident from Person Vs. Illness is Person Vs. Self. Hazel Grace decides to keep people away from her because of her illness. She compares herself to a grenade because she believes that she can harm her beloved ones when she dies because of cancer. This conflict is solved throughout the story when she falls in love with a guy she meets at Support Group, Augustus Waters. She becomes unable to control her feelings towards him, and soon she becomes his girlfriend. Getting in love with Augustus later brings another conflict,

When we communicate we influence how others view us and we create an impression, when we receive opinions from others especially our significant other it influences how we feel about ourselves and helps create our self-concept. The reaction of others, your comparison with others, the social roles you play, and the groups of people you identify with all contribute to the development of your self-concept. According to Bevan and Sole part of the way you construct your self-concept is by choosing to accept or reject what other people tell you about yourself. Your self-concept is influenced by the people you surround yourself with and by what they tell you, to keep a positive self-concept it is helpful to surround yourself with someone who is positive and who speaks highly of you. You both must lift each other up and help each other to feel great about yourselves. “To grow and learn about yourself, you must be open-minded about other people 's opinions,” (Bevan and Sole 2014). Your opinions of each other mean a great deal to how you both feel about your selves and how you perceive yourselves. Your self-concept is how you feel about yourself but if you are told everyday of your life that you are ugly you will eventually think that you are a bit ugly, but if you are told you are beautiful you will think you are beautiful. Don’t ever put each other down even if it is unintentionally, always think before you speak! You can criticize or tell one another your thoughts and opinions

Have you ever been apart of a severe trial? I live with my grandparents because of the mistakes my parents have made. My mom started making bad decisions when she started spending time with my father. She got pregnant with me and still could not stop doing drugs. She continued on even after she had me. I had went through a great deal when I was a little girl.

When I was a kid me and my mom didn't really get along all that much, always had problems, and I never knew exactly why that was. I tried everything I could to avoid any and all fights and arguments, so I did everything she wanted and whatever she said to cease all of it. Things didn't get any better, they more like they got much much worse, I was finally able to move out in with biological father and things seemed to go good for awhile I was sent to military school and made out of that. Moved back home and moved out on my own and working 2 jobs to pay for all the bills, so when you're living with mom and dad don't take for granted what they give you cause its hard when you're on your own. Graduated high school doing everything that a young

My parents were never a perfect couple, they always got into big arguments and physical altercations to the point where it affected me in school academically. My mom would end up with 2 black eyes from my father and my father being away from home for a long period of time.

Drive Theory, Ego Psychology, Object Relations, Self Psychology, and Attachment Theory are different vistas from which we can observe and study human development. I have decided to explain mine from the perspective of Attachment Theory, whose main contributors include John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth, and Mary Main. However, before doing so, it would be useful to outline a bony framework and define certain key concepts of Attachment Theory, which focuses on the relationships and bonds between people--particularly long-term ones such as child-parent and husband-wife.

My childhood may not have been the greatest compared to my peers who grew up with both parents who loved them. I was raised in a broken home, and I mean shattered. I grew up in a house of lies on one week and a “strict” household the other. Let me explain the lies a little bit here. My mother and stepfather lied a lot about themselves and my father. The other week wasn’t really strict it was structured with rules and schedules that needed to be followed, this was at my father’s and

I see, talk, and obviously live with them every day and I am so grateful for that. There’s no one else I can possibly trust more on my decisions and choices in life. My parents understand me on most issues and troubles I sometimes go through so they’re the most helpful. They helped me in one of the hardest decisions I’ve made so far in my life. It was on deciding which high school to go to. I knew Health Careers was the perfect place for me, but feared that id lose all my friends and basically not be able to live the exciting high school experience everyone else would get. The choice to come here was fully up to me, but because of my parents, I realized that my future is much more important than all of those

My mom elaborated for me stating that things happen in life that we can not control. At times like this I should not blame myself just keep in mind that both of my parents love me and are doing something for me to have a better living environment and upbringing. Although it might be difficult to except this at first it might just be for the better of things in general. After I heard and accepted what my mom had to say, I was ready to hear what my pops had to say about it in his own words.

Looking back now, the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life happened in the transition of my Junior to Senior year. I had expressed the feeling of needing to forgive my Dad, and told them that I was in search of his number. They heartily disapproved, telling me my father would only make things worse if he was back in my life. “Do you really think your Dad will make you happy? He abandoned you, we were here. Why are you being so selfish?” They said, taking it as an insult that I would want to reunite with my Dad. Nonetheless I called him, and we fixed things. Our heart-to-heart meetings became more and more frequent until I was with him whenever he was home. Before long, summer came, and being with my guardians all day long made me realize what I had to do. I had all summer to wonder if I was making the right choice. The days were long and hot and their shrewdness kept getting worse. Conversation was completely gone until I said absolutely nothing whilst at home. I asked my Dad for advice whenever I saw him, and he always said the same thing. “You have to leave Cierrah. You know who you are, don’t let them drag you down. Don’t be someone you’re not. You deserve more than that.” So the decision was made, and I moved in with my Dad shortly after my senior year began. Finally able to be who I wanted without someone telling me it was wrong, or that I wasn’t good

I never understood the disease of hoarding but I just realized in speech 105 how much items we associate with identify who we are. Objects such as an aftermarket part for your car, clothing, a shot glass, a sports patch and a book all found in my house represent who we are as individuals and create our self-concept of our selves. Maybe that’s why the show hoarders is so popular as I figured people build memories and an identity to such items leading to people to never let go of the past.
